Fred Stoeber in Hawaii says, Here is an anecdote about Suzuki Roshi (which was
surely during a one day sitting when Suzuki would give dokusan
[interviews] - DC):

We were sitting at the old Sokoji on
Bush street one morning (1966 or 67), and I was thinking about having a
private interview with Roshi to ask him a question. I really didn't have a
pressing question, but thought I should, so I sort of made one up.

As I sat before him, I came up with my
question sounding as sincere as I could (I don't remember at all what it
was). He sat quietly for a while, then turned and took a stack of
envelopes from his table, handed them to me, and said "Would you mail
these for me?"
